Ohm's Law Flashcards
1
Q
What is Ohm’s Law?
A
V = IR
2
Q
What does V, I and R stand for?
A
V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance
3
Q
What happens to voltage when current stays the same and resistance increases?
A
The voltage increases.
4
Q
What happens to current when voltage stays the same and resistance increases?
A
Current decreases.
5
Q
What happens to current when voltage increases and current stays the same?
A
Current increases.
6
Q
When did George Ohm live?
A
1789-1854
7
Q
What does his law state (qualitatively)?
A
Qualitatively, the law states that if resistance is held constant, as voltage increases, so too will current.
